BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Finally A Girl Fight!

It took about a month, but we finally had our first episode of Big Brother that featured extensive screaming and fighting, courtesy of the dearly departed Andrew, who conveniently informed the house that Hayden and Kristen were carrying on a secret showmance right under their noses. In the wake of this development, all sorts of …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Hebrew Schooled

At last, we have a season. Big Brother finally kicked into awesome mode on last night’s fiery eviction episode, thanks in part to Andrew who decided to go big or go home. With his tenure in the house facing an uncertain future, he decided to lay it all out on the line, delivering quite possibly …

TOP CHEF PHOTOCAP: Master Pea

I lurve Top Chef: DC, and not just because we have a fun cast full of colorful characters. I’m really digging the challenges, which seem to truly mine local DC traditions. This week, the gang had to serve up a toothpick-sized hors d’oeuvre for the Quick Fire and then a meaty power lunch for the …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Outrageous Fortunes

Matt is supposed to be the diabolical genius on Big Brother 12, but so far, we’ve yet to see an inkling of smarts. All he’s done is nominate two “floaters,” which is perfectly fine, but let’s be real here. You can’t talk about how much of a mastermind you are if you’re gonna make such …

Inception, As Told By The Real Housewives

The most buzzworthy film of the summer is Inception, and whether you loved it (everyone) or hated it (um, me), it still left many people scratching their heads. Clearly what we all need is a nice, streamlined version of the story, and what better way to retell this elaborate yarn than by employing the Real …

REAL HOUSEWIVES PHOTOCAP: Milestones All Around

For the first time in weeks, we had an episode of The Real Housewives of New Jersey featuring almost none of the Kims (aside from a brief Kim G cameo), and guess what? It wasn’t nearly as fun. That being said, it wasn’t a total snoozefest either. The focused on three milestone moments: Joe and …

‘Mad Men’ Returns, Continues To Be Awesome

Hallelujah! For those of you who think I relish in only lowbrow culture, I’m happy to report that I do have more refined tastes, as evidenced by my love of Mad Men, which triumphantly returned last night. But of course, lowbrow always beats out highbrow, which is my way of apologizing in advance for admitting …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: Surfing To The Win

I won’t lie. Sunday’s episode of Big Brother was a little dullsville. The endurance competition for HoH went on for what felt like an eternity, and maybe it’s because I already knew the outcome, but it just felt bland. I suppose that’s because we’re midway through our third week in the house, and there are …

BIG BROTHER PHOTOCAP: The Catty Fate of Clawed Monet

Last night’s eviction episode of Big Brother 12 seemed like it would lead to an obvious outcome. Matt was the pawn and Monet the target. It was pretty cut-and-dry as to how things would all shake out. After all, Matt had an entire secret alliance behind him whereas Monet had… a crabby bestie who cries …
